I stumbled across this post about Clif’s new backpackable wine bag, which looks essentially like a Platypus water bag (which rule), or a more-sturdy version of the bag inside a box of wine.

It’s touted as more environmentally friendly than a glass bottle and of course it’s lighter for carrying into the wild. So, dear readers, why can we not put our collective heads together and come up with a more portable growler? Would a Platypus bottle and its cap be sturdy enough for carbonation?

If you’ve ever tried anything like this before, or seen it done, please let us know. We like to travel with our beer.
